Overview

Administrators use the CTMS Administration software to configure, to maintain, to monitor and to troubleshoot multipoint switching. Administrative tasks include the following:

•Configuring system settings. These tasks include configuring general system settings, Cisco TelePresence Manager (CTS-Manager) settings, and access management settings (such as administrative roles), System settings tasks are described in “Chapter 4: Configuring CTMS Administration Software.”

•Managing meetings. These tasks include defining meeting templates, defining static and ad hoc meetings and managing active meetings, as well as being able to observe information about scheduled meetings. Meeting management tasks are described in “Chapter 5: Managing Meetings.”

•Monitoring the system. These tasks include restarting the system and monitoring a variety of system processes. System monitoring tasks are described in “Chapter 6: Monitoring CTMS System Processes.”

•Troubleshooting the system. These tasks include monitoring system errors and log files to determine the causes of system errors. Troubleshooting is described in “Chapter 7: Troubleshooting the CTMS System.”

Prior to configuring CTMS Administration software, you must configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) to support multipoint switching. Unified CM for CTMS configuration tasks are described in “Chapter 2: Configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager for CTMS.”
